Expert drain surveys

Before a building project can begin, it is critical to understand where drains and sewers are positioned and who is responsible for them. While water authority drainage systems, like sewers, pipes, and surface water, are located on private properties and gardens, property owners must inspect their infrastructure before building work starts.

Our CCTV drainage mapping services create an accurate plan of your drains and sewer systems including details of pipe diameter and material, chamber depths, drain type, structural condition and direction of flow.

These surveys provide valuable insight to architects, builders, surveyors, and homeowners about the existing drainage systems and whether a 'build over' agreement is required.

Professional drain mapping support

Drain mapping is valuable to private and commercial clients as it helps them to collect information about the state of drainage in the immediate area. Our professional service gives you critical information about the condition and location of your pipework to aid future construction projects.

With over 30 years of experience, we’re highly experienced in drainage mapping services. Our experts provide you with an up-to-date drain map, so you can better understand drainage network functions, locate sewers, and construction information. We also offer a fixed drain mapping and pipe location service, with a no-obligation quote.

Frequently asked questions

If you’ve got questions about drainage mapping, take a look at our FAQs or get in touch with your local team.

Drain mapping is advised before construction work, renovations, and property purchases, and can help discover hidden drainage problems.

Our experts use CCTV surveys, sonde locating equipment, tracing tools, and detailed plans to accurately identify pipe routes, depths, connections, and any issues within the system.

Completing drain mapping allows you to identify the exact layout of the drainage system, including pipe routes, depths, connections, and directions of flow. This makes future repairs quicker, more accurate, and helps improve ongoing maintenance for your property.

We pride ourselves on delivering highly accurate and detailed drain mapping. All surveys are carried out using professional equipment by experienced surveyors, and we work to WRC standards to ensure quality and consistency.
